TIMOTHY LUTHERAN CHURCH SILVER LININGS FROM SHELTER IN PLACE Before COVID, I-HELP moved almost every even- ing to a new location, so the time to work on inter- personal skills was limited to a few hours after din- ner and chores. With shelter-in-place, our clients have many more hours each day to work on inde- pendent living and personal development goals. Several clients have developed a new sense of re- sponsibility and pride in their assigned chores. In the men’s program one of the men is now known as Kitchen John and makes sure the kitchen is spotless and the food is magically turned into 3 meals. An- other man, Joe, takes care of cleaning the floors. The biggest transition for many of the men and women is that they have become a community and realize their actions impact others. As a communi- ty, they have to solve conflicts among themselves as there is nowhere else to go. The program direc- tors and monitors have been modeling how to work with people effectively, and everyone is experienc- ing the personal growth and awareness needed to be successful outside of I-HELP.

  • The Holy Eucharist Rite One INTRODUCTION This Morning We Are Going to Depart from Our Usual Worship
    The Holy Eucharist Rite One INTRODUCTION This morning we are going to depart from our usual worship. As we celebrate the Holy Eucharist today, we are going to examine the different parts of the service and explain them as we go along. Our aim is to help us better understand the worship and help us to participate more fully in the Holy Eucharist. The Holy Eucharist is the principle act of Christian worship. As we proceed, we will pause for explanation of why we are doing what we are doing. There will be some historic and some theological explanations. This is a departure from our usual worship but hopefully it will help us all better appreciate and understand the richness of our liturgy. Vestments priest will vest as you talk The vestments the priest wears are derived from dress clothing of the late Roman Empire. The white outer garment is called an alb. It gets its name from the Latin word albus, which means white. It is derived from the commonest under garment in classical Italy, the tunic. It symbolizes purity, decency and propriety. It also represents being washed clean in the waters of baptism. The girdle or cincture is usually made of white linen or hemp. Functionally, it is for ease of movement when wearing the alb. Symbolically, it represents how we are all bound together in Christ. The stole was derived from a Roman ceremonial garland or scarf worn by Roman officials as an indication of his rank. Priests have worn the stole since at least the fourth century.

  • Vestments and Sacred Vessels Used at Mass
    Vestments and Sacred Vessels used at Mass Amice (optional) This is a rectangular piece of cloth with two long ribbons attached to the top corners. The priest puts it over his shoulders, tucking it in around the neck to hide his cassock and collar. It is worn whenever the alb does not completely cover the ordinary clothing at the neck (GI 297). It is then tied around the waist. It symbolises a helmet of salvation and a sign of resistance against temptation. 11 Alb This long, white, vestment reaching to the ankles and is worn when celebrating Mass. Its name comes from the Latin ‘albus’ meaning ‘white.’ This garment symbolises purity of heart. Worn by priest, deacon and in many places by the altar servers. Cincture (optional) This is a long cord used for fastening some albs at the waist. It is worn over the alb by those who wear an alb. It is a symbol of chastity. It is usually white in colour. Stole A stole is a long cloth, often ornately decorated, of the same colour and style as the chasuble. A stole traditionally stands for the power of the priesthood and symbolises obedience. The priest wears it around the neck, letting it hang down the front. A deacon wears it over his right shoulder and fastened at his left side like a sash. Chasuble The chasuble is the sleeveless outer vestment, slipped over the head, hanging down from the shoulders and covering the stole and alb. It is the proper Mass vestment of the priest and its colour varies according to the feast.

  • Master of Ceremonies for High Mass (Missa Cantata)
    MASTER OF CEREMONIES FOR HIGH MASS (MISSA CANTATA) REQUIREMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS OF A MASTER OF CEREMONIES A master of ceremonies (MC) must be what his title entails: the master, or expert, on the liturgical ceremonies. Hence, he must not only fully know the positions of the inferior ministers at High Mass, but also be acquainted with the celebrant’s actions. Additionally, the MC should have a thorough understanding of the general principles of the Roman Rite,1 be acquainted with the various liturgical books,2 the liturgical office of the schola and how it affects the MC’s position,3 and of course, the layout and preparation of the missal. The MC must also know how to correct a problematic situation with tact and discretion; this is especially true when advising the celebrant (C). In dealing with the servers, any corrections made (especially from a distance) should be as inconspicuous as possible. For minor matters, it is often better to simply let the matter pass and address it later outside of the ceremony in the sacristy. CONCERNING THE ORGANIZATION OF THE PREPARATIONS BEFORE MASS The MC must oversee all of the preparations that are necessary before the beginning of Mass. You must ensure they are done correctly and on time so that Mass may start as scheduled. As MC, you should remain the sacristy as much as possible, directing the preparations from there (there should be a permanent duties checklist in the sacristy assigning each server a specific duty to complete before Mass). In this way, you can ensure the servers are keeping silence in the sacristy, are organized and that any last minute details can be taken care of easily (such as replacing late servers).

TOne goal of the class is to provide space in the church for people who have questions to pursue answers. Another goal is that people who work their way through this material will be able to begin to participate meaningfully in the ministry and prayer life of the church. The Inquirers’ Class is not a Bible study. However, the main biblical truths of the faith are the focus of the class. The Inquirers’ Class gives the foundation and framework for our practice of the faith. If the class has its desired impact, participants will begin the habit of daily Bible reading in the context of daily prayer. The Need for An Inquirer’s Class People who come to the liturgy without any instruction will typically be lost or bored.

  • Robert Taft Ex Oriente Lux? Some Reflections on Eucharistic Concelebration
    Robert Taft Ex Oriente Lux? Some Reflections on Eucharistic Concelebration The following notes on concelebration do not pretend to offer a complete study of the Eastern tradition, nor definitive solutions to the growing dissatisfaction with the restored roman rite of Eucharistic concelebration. But they may help to clarify the status quaestionis, rectify misinterpretations of early Eucharistic discipline, and dispel misconceptions concerning the antiquity and normative value of Eastern usage. It has long been a theological device to turn eastwards in search of supporting liturgical evidence for what one has already decided to do anyway. Something like this was at work in certain pre-Vatican II discussion on the possibility of restoring concelebration in the Roman rite. The underlying presupposition seems to be that Eastern practice will reflect a more ancient- indeed the ancient - tradition of thee undivided Church. 1. Concelebration in the Christian East Today The information on contemporary Eastern forms of Eucharistic concelebration given by McGowan and King is generally accurate, with a few exceptions that will be corrected here. The Armenians practice Eucharistic concelebration only at Episcopal and presbyteral ordinations, a custom they may have borrowed from the Latins. The Maronites, also influenced by the Latins, probably owe their practice of verbal co-consecration to scholastic theology of the (P.81) Eucharist, Before the seventeenth century, concelebration without co-consecration was in use. In the Coptic Orthodox Church several presbyters participate in the common Eucharist vested, in the sanctuary. Only the main celebrant (who is not the presiding celebrant if a bishop is present) stands at the altar, but the prayers are shared among the several priests.
